Chapters:

We were for each other
the momentyou and I
awakened to the sound of the birdssinging
high up in the trees, our legs tangledtogether
and your skin pressed to mineas the sun
blew its last kiss to the sky beforedisappearing under the
horizon. And then you looked at me,entirely
magnificent in your baggy clothes and tired eyeslike some
sort of miracle sitting aroundundisguised.With one
eye open, a corner of your mouth turned up,then I
could swear the stars aligned,if I cared
at all for astronomy.And there
it was in my head,all of the
things I wanted to say but could not putinto words,
all of the places I wanted to touch youbut could
not muster up the courage to;then all of
the days I wanted to spend wakingin this
same situation, the birds racing to meet thesunset, my
skin whispering across yours,David Bowie
crooning from my beat-up old boombox.Out on your
front yard, waiting patiently for nightfallis where I
knew I loved you and always would,fiercely
and ceaselessly.
